Mixes

Based on game build 722832 | Last updated: 2026-04-22

Overview

mixes.lua is an initialization script that registers audio mix presets with the global TheMixer system. Each mix defines volume levels for different audio buses (ambience, music, voice, SFX, etc.) along with fade time and priority values. These mixes are activated during specific game states such as pausing, death, lobby screens, weather events, and character-specific abilities. The file executes immediately upon load and does not return a value or define a class.

Usage example

-- This file auto-executes on load, registering mixes with TheMixer
-- Mix activation (SetMix) is part of the mixer module API, not this file:
-- TheMixer:SetMix("normal")
-- TheMixer:SetMix("death")
-- TheMixer:SetMix("moonstorm")

-- Audio bus paths are defined locally in this file:
-- "set_ambience/ambience", "set_music/soundtrack", "set_sfx/voice", etc.

Properties

None			No properties are defined.

This file is an initialization script that executes side effects (registering mixes) and does not return a table or define a class with properties. The local variables (amb, cloud, music, etc.) are internal implementation details used only within this file.
